Soviet T-26

Ron Garcia
Way easier to build after learning some lessons from building the T-26 1931 version. For some reason, the form for the tracks in the 1931 version could only hold about six links before the links became too tight and popped out. These tracks didn't have that issue and I was able to bust out 14 links at a time. It wasn't the form in the 1931 version because I saved it and these tracks worked fine with that one as well. This time I did add the track link pins - but only where they could be seen. Still, it took way too long for the effort. Plus, adding them don't make the tracks articulate. The upper hull and turret went together quickly. The fit of the top of the turret was good, but I had to use a bit of putty to close some slight gaps. Good kit. Easier the second time around!
